I have currently have row 30A (exit row, recommended on Seat Guru) which is standard economy, exit row. There is also availability in rows 19 through 25, also standard economy but with power outlets (at least, according to Seat Guru).

Finally, I can also get either a window seat or a bulkhead, center tier seat (row 15) in economy comfort for $60 (less, I think, some silver medallion discount).

It's a morning flight, so I probably won't be drinking. I will have a computer and may want to work, but it will be a new Ultrabook that should have at least 5 hours of battery life.

I did MUC-ATL on a 767-400ER just a few weeks ago. We were 17A & B. The EC seats were nice. They did seem to recline a decent amount more than the regular coach. Leg room in the bulkhead EC seats is not as good on the 764 as on some others. Leg room in 17A & B was perfectly adequate for me. I'm 5'9" and have no particularly unusual distribution of height in my legs or torso.

I'm not a fan of bulkheads, generally, as I do like to put my personal item in front of me, and I have seen plenty of people have trouble finding overhead space in the first row.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the best seat to choose?

Won't be drinking??? Nothing wrong with a Bloody Mary (Or 2) while plunking away at that computer keyboard, or pushing that pen, on those early morning flights. But YMMV

- Row 30 (exit) has the best leg room, hands down. The tray tables and AVOD are in the armrest, making the armrest immovable and the seat is slightly narrower.
- EC - there is debate over Row 15, which is the bulkhead. The legroom is so so. Rows 16-18 are all pretty similar.
